Uh, might be really bad timing on that integration there, as indeed PayPal has been a major missing option for Stripe for a very long time.
But that actually changed extremely recently. PayPal is now fully supported with Stripe, even payment settlement happens in Stripe, Connect is supported etc.
Its availability is limited - based on the merchant's Stripe account. It's not available in the US yet, but I can't imagine it'll be far behind. For EEA + UK + Swiss Stripe accounts, you can accept PayPal for US customers
It seems that it was launched very quietly, not crystal clear why. Maybe PayPal are trying to avoid cannibalisation of their own payment processing services
Had to wait a few days for recurring/subscription payments to be "approved", but going great since then
We noticed is that it doesn't expose any info about the region/country of the connected account, so we had to make a little adjustment to stop relying on that
Also I think the pricing is a little on the high side, but PayPal people do really seem to like PayPal so not really a concern
